I came across this website and video and it piqued my interest. I have a good amount of Swedish DNA and who doesn’t love a tiny cabin drenched in sunshine!??!
As it often happens, I thought of you! Now, I don’t have a couple rustic cabins in Sweden to bring my few readers to. And my guess is that you don’t have 72 hours to devote to such an experiment…
Let’s face it, though: This school year isn’t any easier than the last. The bright spots have moved, the challenges have changed, but the exhaustion and overwhelm are just as present as ever.
So, regardless of whether you are in Sweden, I want you to consider these questions:
Where is YOUR Swedish cabin? Where can you go and feel content and relaxed whilst also being unplugged? Tonight for me it was an Adirondack chair my son built next to a one-match fire I built.
What does unplugging mean to you? For me it means shutting off notifications, staying off social media when it makes me feel icky and giving my exhausted eyes a break.
How do you connect with Nature? It could be as active as going kayaking, biking or hiking. It could be that comfy chaise lounge near an open window where you feel the breeze and hear the birds.
How will you notice the benefit? A big part of this experiment is the data collected before and after. You might not be measuring your blood pressure…. but how are your stress levels? Are you more relaxed? Measure what matters to you.
Be sure to report back!
I’m kidding. This is all for you.
med vänliga hälsningar,
Suzy
